Questions Asked.
Editor LIGHT:

Editor LIGHT:
And the Lord said. "Let there be
light" and there was light.
wOulds't thou who so illumes give
some lucid answers to the following
queries:
Why are your large land owners OPP
posed TO the sale OF lands to small farm-
ers?
Why have they dread, yes a horror
Of the thought that some day Texas will
BE- an agricultural country?
Why do they look with suspicion on
every man who says want TO buy some
land here?
Are the people OF Texas so truly hon.
est that when a man talks "oOrn" they
feel in duty bound TO give him the his
tory Of their experience, as corn grow
ers lin the saddlt) and by every mears in
their power To dissuade them from their
foolish agricultural notions?
Will you please give the probable re-
suit OF 500 acre farm well and properly
cultivated chiefly in corn, the whole to
be fed to stock on the farm, as against
800 acres Of like land in pasture?
There are many more queries, Let
this suffice for the present.

Explanation.

The structure on the Y. M. G. A., a
few days since, which the LIGHT" very
properly signed "Woodson," instead of
the anonymous signature Of the writer,
was meant to be limited to the ALSO
citation" in this city, or rather to its
management. The writer has known
like associations In other cities, where
they had fine libraries even without
waiting for the erection OF building:
where they had MONDAY services
we. k days, and preaching on the Sab
bath; here old men, Notwithstanding
the odium Of old age. even with totter-
ing step on the brink OF the shadowy
vale, were treated with kindness and
though not admitted to the ssnctum
sanctorum, were welcome in the
outer courts, and TO address
the general meetings for worship.
No pent-up Pharisaic Utica contracted
their bounds. Want and poverty re-
ceived generous Christian sympathy, and
noble usefulness marked their admins
tratiOn. In fact, they had much besides
mere secretaries and nearly bare
rooms, while begging for money
for a costly edifice before investing
few hundred dollars In library. "WheTe
the treasure lie there will the heart be-"
Young men are most important fac
tor for church, society and country. For
them the deepest interest Of the church
should be aroused and practically ex-
erted. For them pew and pulpit, the
closet Of the prayer and sanctuary Of
the solemn assembly, the quiet prayer
meeting and the Christian family circle,
all should zealously labor. WooDsoN.

SUICIDE AT PENSACOLA.

The Body of the Owner of Clothing
Found Week Ago Washed Ashore.
PENSACOLA, FLA, Dec. 20.-About ten
days ago suit of clothes and underwear
was found on Sullivan's wharf hidden
under pile of wood As there was no
blood or other marks to indicate violence
it was at the time generally supposed to be
the plumber Of some petty thief who, being
hemmed, took this method of temporarily
disposing of his plumber. Developments
made to-day, however, proved that this
Vas rot the case. Upon the rocks forming
the breakwater for the wharf near
the spot where the clothes were discovered
there drifted ashore the body of a middle
aged white man. There were no marks of
violence upon his person except two shot
wounds which were evidently of years
standing. 1t is unquestionably a case of
suicide. The body was taken in charge by
the Coroner. Up to this time there can be
discovered no clew leading TO the identity of
the deceased.
AS Christmas times draw nigh the white
citizens are suffering from depredations
made upon their hen roosts by petty thieves,
who are determined to have poultry for
Christmas No less than twelve robberies
of this kind have occurred within the past
few DAYS.

UP IN A BALLOON.
A Lady Accompanies the Hronaut to
Benefit Her Asthma.

AUGUSTA, GA, Dec 20.--Prof. King an
aeronaut, made his two hundredth ascension
from Augusta this afternoon. Twenty-6 five
thousand people assembled in and around
the vacant lot on Greene street, whence the
ascension was made, TO witness the novel
| sight Crowds had come in on special
trains, and Augusta was full to Overlooking
with country folks, who shopped in the
morning and swarmed around the air ship
! in the afternoon. For squares about the
| ''Eyrie," the name Of the balloon, the fences,
| housetops and every available altitudinal
lodging place were crowded with mass
of humanity. Half an hour before the
| ascension big Steve the fire alarm bell
rang out the signal that all was ready, and
clerks, proprietors and customers left the
stores en- masse to swell the throng already
gathered Exactly at 2:50 o'clock the
''Eyrie" lightened off her ballast, arose
gracefully and gradually above the house
tops and spires, amid the wild shouts of
thousands, and took a northeasterly direc-
ton, crossing the Savannah river and float
ing over Hamburg, while the occupants,
Prof. King and lady, waved their
handkerchiefs in token Of farewell. In
seven minutes the balloon met a thick rain
charged cloud rift and melted from view.
The lady accompanying Prof King is Mrs.
Sleeper, of Washington, %. c., who has re-
sided in and near Augusta for some time,
and who makes the voyage mainly in the
hope of beneflting her health. She suffers
from asthma The direction taken by the
balloon being northeasterly, will probably
land the adventures somewhere in the
neighborhood of Columbia, S. G. After
landing the professor and Mrs. Sleeper will
return to Augusta by train, bringing the
"Eyrie'' with them. About seventeen
years ago Prof. King made an ascension
from Augusta and after thrilling adven-
ture in attempting to land reached terra
frma in Santee swamp, S. c. This was
the last balloon ascension from Augusta up
to that of to-day.

Cashier Arnold.
CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-Charles 4. H. Arnold,
assistant cashier of S. A. Kean & Co. 8
banking house, who was held to the Crimi-
nal Court for embezzlement yesterday, has
made written confession. In it he SAYS
that he will waive examination and plead
guilty to any indictment charging him with
stealing $1,000, which amount, he says,
viii cover everything. He winds up
by saying: "As my life has
been burden to me since Is years of age.
/ may find in prison peace and quietness,
which is necessary for me, for anything
which God in His will may let pass over me-
1t will be ruin and destruction for wife,
child and myself in this world" Arnold is
IS years old He had no bad habits and was
trusted implicitly by the firm, but
his household expenses have been very
heavy on account of rhe long sick
ness of his wife. For twelve or fourteen
years she has been a confirmed invalid and
he has watched her with tender devotion
for years. Three or four weeks ago an
erasure was noticed on one of Arnold's
books. Experts secretly worked on the
books and discovered discrepancies.
Arnold was charged with theft. At first
he denied it, but finally broke down and
confessed the charge. His arrest followed.
